The Plaza de la Constitución should definitely be included. Church, town hall, pub: it's all there.

A charming destination steeped in history and renowned for its delicious cuisine, ideal for combining cultural tourism with nature. It's not a place for shopping sprees or nightlife, but rather for disconnecting and enjoying local traditions. Historical Heritage: The Almohad castle and the old town are authentic medieval gems, remarkably well-preserved. Natural Surroundings: Enclosed by mountains and hiking trails, it's perfect for those seeking tranquility and nature. Peaceful Atmosphere: This welcoming village is ideal for rural getaways away from the tourist crowds. Gastronomy: Traditional dishes like olleta (a hearty stew), gazpacho manchego (a traditional gazpacho from La Mancha), and homemade sweets are highly prized. Festivals and Culture: Its celebrations and craft fairs offer an authentic and engaging atmosphere.

The Church (Hermitage) of Santa Eulalia, located in the Santa Eulalia Colony, between Sax and Villena (Alicante, Alto Vinalopó). It forms part of an agricultural colony built in the late 19th century, declared a Site of Cultural Interest (ethnological) in 2016. It is situated in an area between Sax and Villena, near the Acequia del Rey irrigation canal and the Vinalopó River. The hermitage is located in one of the colony's two main squares, surrounded by houses, factories (flour and alcohol), a theater, a casino, and a train station. The current hermitage was built in 1891, on the site of an earlier medieval one, commissioned by the Count of Alcudia (Antonio de Padúa Saavedra). It is a simple rectangular building with a double-arched bell gable built around 1900; each arch housed bells on its lower level.

The Ermita de San Blas in Sax is a small, historic chapel located in the heart of the old town, directly below the castle. It was probably built in the 13th or 14th century and is one of the typical "Ermitas de Reconquista" (reconquest hermitages) built after the Christian reconquest. The building has a simple rectangular floor plan with a later addition of a semicircular chancel and a baroque bell tower above the entrance. The statue of Saint Blas, the patron saint of the town, is venerated inside. The chapel continues to play a central role in the religious and cultural life of Sax. Of particular importance is the annual "Cabildo de San Blas" on December 26th, a traditional gathering that marks the beginning of the patron saint's festivities. In addition, masses are regularly held in honor of the saint. With its historic architecture and picturesque location below the castle, the Ermita de San Blas is an important symbol of Sax's identity and a worthwhile destination for visitors interested in culture.

A very beautiful harbor with no cars. It is easier to climb it from Bemixama because the climb is more constant than from Fontanars dels Alforins, where there is a stretch of steeper coasts.

Biar is a beautiful town that, if you are passing through here, you should pay a visit to see its castle, its famous arches and, in general, its beautiful cobbled streets.
